Over the course of his career,
A.J. Burnett
pitched 2,731 innings
and made 575 plate appearances.
Burnett
was worth
28.6 Wins Above Replacement
(29.6 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter)
and 5.2 Wins Above Average
(6.0 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 28.6 WAR becomes
28.6 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the 5.2 WAA becomes 12.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burnett 51.1 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
A.J. Burnett has a Hall Rating of
48,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
